Abstract: The device is a foldable stent (122) or stent-graft (370) which may be delivered with (or on) a catheter or via surgical or other suitable techniques. The device is then expanded or unfolded. The expandable stent structure preferably utilizes at least one torsional member (100) generally aligned with the longitudinal axis of the stent (122). The stent (122) preferably has an undulating shape. It may be helically deployed to form the generally cylindrical shape eventually deployed as the stent (122) or it may be formed of one or more rings (302). The structure desirably is aligned to allow those undulating shapes in adjacent rings (322) or turns of the helix to be in phase. The adjacent undulating shapes may be held in that phased relationship using a flexible linkage often made of a polymeric material. The stent (122) is self-expanding, kink-resistant, easily bent along its longitudinal axis, does not change its length during that expansion, and is able to provide collapsible support for otherwise frangible graft material. The graft component (134) cooperating with the stent (122) is tubular and may be biocompatible polymeric or collagenous material or combinations of the two which may, if desired, be reinforced with fibers. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A medical bone screw including a lock to lessen the possibility of pull-out or screw-out. The screw may be any bone screw including a cannula. A wire spring is inserted partially into the cannula prior to use. Once in position, the wire spring is pushed further down the cannula until its ends may project out side openings in the screw. These projections lock the screw in place. Further depression of the wire spring disengages them so the screw may be removed.

Date Mar. 14, 1996The vehicle drive system for mobile hydraulics has a hydrostatic power transmission and a multi-speed selector gear. When the gears are shifted, the speed of the hydrostatic variable displacement motor is controlled in such a way that synchronous engine speeds are set on the engaging elements. Thus, during upshifting, a directional valve is shifted into a neutral position and afterward shifted back into the basic position. For downshifting there is a synchronizing valve that replaces a control pressure, which is dependent on the speed of a primary drive motor with a constant maximum charge pressure. As a result, the engine speed of the hydrostatic variable displacement motor reaches, in the shortest time possible, the engine speed that matches the ratio range in the transmission. Following synchronization the gearshift system runs without detectable engagement jerks.

Abstract: Data decoding apparatus decodes data reproduced from a record medium (1) and stored in a memory (7). Since decoding requires a sufficient amount of data to be stored in memory, especially when the data is, for example, predictively encoded, a system controller (21) inhibits previously read data from being overwritten in the memory (7). Thus, when a reverse reproduction operation is suddenly initiated during a forward reproduction operation, a sufficient amount of data is reserved in the memory (7) for decoding the data in the reverse direction. Similarly, the system controller (21) inhibits the memory (7) from writing over previously read data during reverse reproduction and a sufficient amount of data is reserved for decoding when forward reproduction is resumed. <IMAGE>

Abstract: Encoding and decoding of subtitle data is performed in real time. A buffer regulates a flow rate of the subtitle data to ensure that appropriate subtitles are superimposed on the correct video picture. In encoding, subtitles are generated in correspondence with a video picture. The subtitles are separately encoded and multiplexed with the video picture for transmission. Upon decoding, the subtitles are selected at a time which corresponds to display of the corresponding video picture. Since the subtitles are processed separately from the video data, the subtitles may be manipulated with great control, thus providing more flexibility in encoding and decoding. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A method and material for shrink wrapping articles includes wrapping the article with a shrink wrapping material having a shrink/stretch film outer layer and an inner layer of a woven fabric. The shrink/stretch film responds to heat by shrinking around the article being wrapped, while the woven fabric, which does not shrink or shrinks very little, forms pockets which bunch and gather up as shrinking takes place, thereby forming a cushion between the film and the object being wrapped. The woven fabric acts as a reenforcement for the film, both before and after shrinking, thus protecting the article wrapped from a hurled object and other similar hazards, and also protecting the article from direct engagement from the shrink/stretch film, which is relatively abrasive.
